Can anyone think of any large events; foires or expos that they've been to, heard of or know of? I'm trying to research it on the net but without much success, I want to show furniture & carving next year but haven't got the knowledge of appropriate events here. The UK equivalent would be the county shows and interiors events.

Thanks.

In the Sarthe, yes, there is a bit one in Le Mans each year (not until '08 now unfortuanetly).  Is that too far for you, Chris?

Not too far all coops; i'll travel anywhere; the larger European capitals & towns are my target. Any details?

Thanks for the thought.

Here is the link to this year's. Sadly, the timing's out but good for planning!  It will give you an idea if it's what you want but my guess - from the stuff I've seen when I've wandered round the expo' is that it would fit the bill. Bon courage, mon brave.

This is a good one. Smile [:)] I think it has only been around for a couple years now but has become very popular, I would like to try to make it next year if possible.

Chris, not sure if you could exhibit there but if you could, perhaps it would be a good way to sell anything that would be difficult to shift in normal circumstances, because after a few hours, I would imagine anything would start looking good to some of the crowd attending. Big Smile [:D]
